The Flex MSBA program is one of only a few of its kind in the country and the only part-time MSBA program offered in Southern California. The curriculum and faculty are the same as the Full-Time MSBA program, ranked 10th in the country by QS International. The Full-Time MSBA program launched in 2016 and continues to grow every year.

The Flex MSBA is a STEM-designated program and is a great fit for working professionals who:

  • Are in a management position and who would benefit from a deeper understanding of analytics and the value of machine learning, or
  • Have technical expertise but need to translate and expand their “analytics toolbelt” to be able to create value in business contexts across marketing, finance and operations
